Can you haul a 4'x8' sheet of drywall?

I've owned EVs: Tesla Model S, Model X, and Model 3 and I was able to overstuff the trunk that kept the trunk open (but tied down). They would alarm like crazy but with no speed restriction.

Okay, so to be clear, all of the questions were answered. Cutting 4 x 8 sheets are necessary to fit the Gravity. How does that differ from the Air? By cutting smaller pieces?
That's what i do. Vacuuming afterwards is a royal bitch.

Because until this thread nobody really knew. It’s not as if there are a ton of Gravities out there in consumers’ hands to relay experiences. Lucid is selling this car as having class-exceeding cargo space and space efficiency. Minivans can fit sheet goods in a similarly sized vehicle. So for those of us that do woodworking and DIY around the house there was a hope that sheet goods could fit easily in the Gravity.

I’m not even sure we know for certain yet anyway. We’d really have to have one on hand to get a real sense of it. When I get mine or an extended period with a demo car I’ll likely 3D scan it and see if I can design and 3D print some kind of riser system for it to angle sheet goods to fit inside.
 
I took the R1T Tri-Max plunge. Not only can it handle a sheet of drywall, 50 bags of mulch works just as well. LOL.

Guess I'm a KnuckleHead too! I've transported 4'x8' plywood and drywall in the back of my 1993 Explorer numerous times since 93! The back hatch is open and I get smogged with exhaust gas! In fact as I type this the frame I made 20 years ago to support drywall is back in the car because I'm going to pick up some plywood when I feel motivated.

So, along with my tandem bicycle fitting in back easily, that is one of my SUV EV desires.
I can tell you:
Rivian R1s yes, need frame to hold above wheel well, don't know about door.
Kia EV9 yes, no mods, don't know about door
Volvo EX90 no
Gravity ?? calculate that it might fit at an angle with some kind of frame, and still don't know about the door.

I imagine the Gravity will complain endlessly if you drive with the rear door open. I probably wouldn't want to do it at all at highway speeds.

Ha! You think that's bad? My AGT is our dog car.

That's my plan for the Gravity I have on order. If I didn't have dogs, I might well seek a smaller vehicle than a Gravity. On the flip-side, the low entry height is big plus as the dogs get older.
